Only played Halo 1 so far but holy shit it finally clicked. All I ever played of Halo 1 was the stuttery weird PC version and I fully expected to never get why people loved this game so much. But now I can see it.

Also makes me sad thinking about Bungie/Destiny.

On Truth and Reconciliation right now on Heroic and the gameplay is so f'ing timeless (^___^)

for the most part the games have the same great A.I.,, although it isn't as noticeable in Halo 2/3 due to (Halo 2 story spoiler)
the lack of Elites as enemies (for the most part).
I'd say the closest game to Halo CE when it comes to A.I. is Halo Reach, due to (same Halo 2 spoiler)
the Elites being a primary enemy again.

That's great to hear!! Loving the AI. Since the graphics are old, the 60fps and the AI is what I'm liking the most. (other then shooting mechanics, that is also amazing)

Cool to see someone new to the franchise playing this. The MCC seems (mostly) great for the campaigns. Halo AI has always been good.

As for multiplayer, unfortunately it's a bit shit right now. Hopefully they fix it soon so you can have a good experience. Stay away for the time being.

Another, cool! I'm excited for all the new folk.

Yeah, sadly the MP is still very problematic! =(
Hopefully it will be fixed soon!

Honestly I think I prefer the look of the old graphics... It doesn't have all the bells and whistles and it's definitely more ominous and dreary. I'm ignorant to the performance stuff but regardless I've been constantly switching back and forth because I can't make up my mind.

The AI is truly some of the greatest... I was mad disappointed with the AI in destiny

I tried Destiny beta, and yeah, its nowhere near what I'm seeing with Halo CE. And I have to say that besides it indeed looks old, in motion the game looks pretty good! I'm really not bothered at all by this (except that it feels a bit dark).

So I just played a 1v1v1v1v1 in MM. This game is beyond broken.

Seriously, if 343i would just put out a patch to at least lock Halo CE cinematics to 30fps....

It actually lessens/cheapens the whole visual presentation cause it looks just so out of place and unoptimized

Same here, getting my ass whooped by the two hunters inside too. I don't remember the aiming reticles being this huge, I feel like I have no precision whatsoever. Still fun though. Destiny did make me a slightly better Halo player, I'll give it that.

This is untrue. I've downloaded a ton of XB1 games and they've all been done relatively quickly.

It is really a crapshoot, but they don't intentionally throttle, I just went from 30KB/s to using all of my bandwith at 6.00MB/s now I just pray to the flying spaghetti monster it holds...

Yeah, AR was always spray n' pray but makes a great balanced weapon when always coupled with an energy-based one

Unless you have a sniper rifle, you should NEVER being rolling around without a convenant weapon on Herioc and upward...

Parties will not stay together.

Everyone disbanding when the party leader cancels matchmaking search is a bug right? RIGHT?

I feel that needs to be addressed as soon as MM stabilizes. Very important to maintain the virtual couch experience that Bungie perfected. A couch doesn't kick everyone off if one person goes to pee.

All playlists seem to work apart from H2A.

Also what is the deal with only one ranked playlist at launch?

This is a horrible horrible first day with the game. Add that on to the fact most people playing the game are either completely pathetic or really good. This is leading to highly unbalanced teams right now, I can't wait till people get to their respective skill ratings so I don't have complete headless chickens on my team.

Matchmaking however is more broken in the respect in never ever matches up even teams. For a game that is a system seller it is all pretty embarrassing.

All of the negatives aside, loving playing Halo 2 again and shows just how damn good it was to stand the test of time.

I dont get how you can expect to have even matched team when everyone is starting to play the game so there is no skill set yet.

On a different note, one of my friend is streaming for an hour or so and so far he is matching fast, he has played H2A rank, halo 2 clasic, team hardcore, rumble and champions league. It seems service is getting stabilized

Just played my first match, got into a game no problem, no lag whatsoever.

Was 3v3 BRs on Lockdown in H2A.

Holy hell it feels fucking amazing. Way better than I ever thought it would.

I was saying I can't wait until everyone gets to their respective levels as some people really are atrocious at the game and right now it isn't fun (for single players).

My gripe is with it never matching up even numbers for teams at the moment it seems to lock in odd numbers way too quickly.

Nice! Glad to read some people are seeing improvements even if it is just a slight improvement. Better than nothing, or it getting worse, so I'll take it.

It seems like MM is starting to have a bit of life by some of the recent posts in here?

Well, except for the 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1vv1v1v1v1 guy, that's hilarious.

He probably joined H2A rumble.

Also, being able to jump from different MPs shows you what a mess Halo 3 MP was compared to Halo 2 MP. Halo 2's BR is so nice and precise. Halo 3's BR is such an unfocused mess.

Played 3v3 Ann Team slayer earlier on Warlock. Dudes were calling out positions and being very active on the Mic. It was great.

Now make it not take 7 minutes to find another similar game.

I can't believe matchmaking is still fucked, at least I can get into a game now after a long wait but then it just freezes on the loading screen after the match. Have MS or 343 even acknowledged the issues? Any word on a patch?

Ohhh when you said even teams is same number of players and not even in terms of skills.

Everything right now regarding MM will seem "broken" because of the server issues, Im positive things will work as intended when they fix this.

The 9/10 score for this game is misleading with the matchmaking as broken as it is.

Independent of the single player and the updates a lot of people will purchase this specifically to head into some multiplayer games.

I'm tempted to grab this but i will wait until the issues get ironed out.

Just finished the first level of Halo 2 and 60fps Halo is blowing my mind. Switching back and forth between the original graphics and the updated ones is still as crazy as ever.

And those SMG's.

The Blur cinematics seem a little framey here and there but it's ok I suppose. That second level intro is hhhhnnnggg.

Oh, and then for the hell of it I tried some Halo 3 MP before I logged off. How appropriate was it that my first match was on Last Resort? I felt like I was back in college.

This collection is nuts.
